ive got renault clio 1.2
and 155/70 R13 tires

so correct me if im wrong:

1)wider tires do:
-improve handling
-improve braking
-degrade acceleration
-degrade top speed
-degrade mpg

2)shorter tires do
-improve acceleration
-improve top speed
-improve mpg
-degrade handling
-degrade braking

so i plan just to get wider tires like say: DUNLOP SP2000 which are 205/50 R13
can i just fit these on my car or do i need some modifications?
are these too wide?

and... any other suggestions?
